2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.2L Petrol · LF15 YGP

The 2026‑03‑28 MOT at 52,608 miles resulted in a pass, with only a battery securing issue and a front brake disc noted as worn but not excessive; the preceding 2025‑03‑28 test at 47,342 miles recorded no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend with only minor, non‑critical findings in the latest assessment. The vehicle’s 52,608 miles over 11 years equate to roughly 4,800 miles per annum, a rate lower than typical for a 2015 model and suggestive of limited usage or extended periods of inactivity; mileage increments show a gradual rise from 12,149 miles in 2018 to 52,608 miles in 2026, with the most pronounced jumps occurring between 2021 and 2022 (approximately 5,100 miles) and again from 2022 to 2023 (about 6,300 miles), while earlier years displayed more modest annual increases. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components, particularly the near‑side front lower arm ball joint dust cover that deteriorated in the 2024 test, the condition of the front brake disc and rear brake pads which have shown wear in successive tests, the tyre integrity indicated by the 2022 failure involving cuts, bulges and fouling, and the functional operation of the windscreen wipers and battery mounting; inspection of the chassis for corrosion, verification of suspension bush and coil spring condition, and a thorough brake system assessment are essential to confirm that the recorded advisories have not escalated into serious mechanical risk.
